MUNFORDVILLE, Ky.

- Mike Rife is white, a semiretired factory worker with a high school education and a 2-foot-square sign on his lawn that makes friends and neighbors flip him the finger as they drive by.

'I think I almost know what it feels like to be a black guy,' said Rife, his voice gravelly and defiant. 'I take heat every day. I got an Obama sticker on my car, and I catch hell for it.'

Munfordville is the seat of Hart County, a rural swath of Kentucky farmland. Its Democrats will vote, and vote hard, for Hillary Clinton in Tuesday's primary. And if Barack Obama goes on to win the nomination, many of those Bluegrass State Democrats say they will vote against him quicker than you can say, 'Race doesn't matter.'
